With pH levels that are too high, your pool equipment could start to develop scaling. But if it’s too low, you could start to see erosion and etching.

You’ll notice there’s not a lot of wiggle room with this number. That’s because it affects almost everything. You can also choose liquid or granular chlorine, which serves the same purpose. You’ll just have to add it manually according to dosage requirements.Add enough chlorine to raise your chlorine level to at least 3 ppm.

Above ground swimming pools

However, you, of course, are free to use whatever you choose. The application doesn’t change much whether you use chlorine or bromine. You’ll just need to follow the instructions on the container. These come in a pretty big variety of sizes but also come in various shapes, so you can install them in any size and shape of yard. Many Intex pools come with their own covers, but if yours doesn’t, you’ll need to get one ASAP. and it doesn’t have to be a solar cover like the one we linked to here, but these do help heat your water naturally. Life preserver

Cover your Intex pool when it’s not being used. A pool cover can go a long way toward keeping your water warm and clean. But maybe the most impressive improvement is their filtration system that they upgraded to provide better circulation and water clarity. Keeping your water clean and sanitized is not only good for its swimmers. It’s also good for the pool. If you have a very small pool, a life preserver ring may not be necessary, but never hurts to keep one close by just in case. This one is made for an adult or child and has grab ropes all around. Intex Pool Care UpgradesA solar pool heater will keep your water at a comfortable temperature without using extra energy and running up your bills. They’re simple to install, as long as they get sun exposure. And they use your existing pool pump so there’s no extra plumbing. Can you leave an intex pool up year round? The world of above ground pools has changed A LOT, my friend. These days, you can choose from a variety of different shapes and sizes that are as easy on the budget as they are to maintain. If we didn’t say it before, congrats on your new pool! Intex pools are a lot of fun and great investments. When you hear people talk about hard or soft water, this is what they’re talking about. This level should be between 100 and 300 ppm.

Don’t get me wrong, you can still find those cheap varieties that you might as well throw away after one season. But if you know what you’re looking for, your above ground pool can last for quite a few years. Pools get dirty. There’s no way around it! And keeping it clean is a chore, but that’s something you probably figured out before you ever bought one. The proper TA level for a swimming pool is between 80-120 parts per million (ppm). And this is what stabilizes your pH balance.You could say sanitizer is the most important chemical for your pool. It kills germs and keeps algae at bay when it’s working the way it should. Now, because Intex pools don’t have a lot of metal parts, you may not see the immediate effects of unbalanced pH levels.

Water that’s too hard has a calcium hardness level that’s too high. It can dry out your skin and leave calcium buildup on your equipment. A floating chlorine dispenser will make your job of chemical balancing a whole lot easier. You simply pop some chlorine tablets in and it dispenses the chemical at the appropriate rate. Pool cover Most of the time, you can find fairly level ground to place it on. And keep in mind that it doesn’t have to be perfect. A little sand in some low spots and a shovel to chip away any high spots and you’re probably all set. Once those are all connected, you’ll attach the metal frame supports to them. It’s important in this step to make sure you’re passing the vertical supports through both the belt and lower rope as shown here in this pic from Level Ground Pool:Another great thing about these pools is that they often come with their own sets that can include ladders, pumps, covers, and vacuums. These are accessories you need for any above ground pool, so the fact that they come with their own means you spend less money and less time looking for the ones that will work with yours. Types of Intex pools Brushing and vacuuming should be done at least once a week. But if you find it’s getting to be a huge chore because of the buildup, you may need to do it more often. This is usually the case for pools that get a lot of use and pools that are located close to trees. For larger pools, we recommend a robotic vacuum that will run by itself and keep the pool bottom clean all the time. But if it’s not in your budget or you have a fairly small pool, a manual vacuum will do the job. All that’s left to do now is to fill it up with water, attach the pump, and add your chemicals (more on that next). What chemicals do I need for my Intex pool?
